"Um, Ranma? Have I ever told you you're my best
friend?"

Ranma's eyes bugged out. "TOFU-SENSEI!!" he
screamed, running out of the
room. "SHE'S GONE NUTS!!"

     I think this is the best IC behavior I have read
in your fics. No offense.

She laughed. "Hell no! But we were always the best
of friends." She had
a strange smirk on her face. "Ranma's going to be so
confused with me
being nice to him."

     Then she never got into any romantic relationship
with him? Not even a possibility? Especially, now that
I think about it, if Ranma and Akane met without the
initial misunderstanding and forced engagement, they
probably will get together easier. Certainly I have
seen enough alternate universes fic to convince me so.
Then again, fanfics probably shouldn't be used as
evidences...

She chuckled. "All of me, Tofu-sensei. I'm still
Akane - but I'm also
Jhery-a-Conel and Gabrielle and Moonglum and Little
John and so many
others. They were always there, but now I know about
them - just as
Ranma is Corum of the Scarlet Robe and Xena of
Amphipolis and Elric of
Melnibone and Robin of Sherwood."

     I could also see them as Kenshin Himura and Kaoru
Kamiya... Let's see, what other anime characters would
fit?

"I am the Companion of Heroes, Tofu-sensei." Akane
said. "And I'll be
his friend and companion, standing besides him in
good times and bad."
She looked curious. "I've never been married to him
before. He's usually
doomed to find love tainted with tragedy."

     Huh. Akane, not as Ranma's romance prospect? I
hate to say this, but that seems bloody unlikely.

She nodded. "Oh yes. He's killed the woman he loved
more than once, he's

     Definitely Kenshin. ^_^

"Thinking of Kasumi? That it's possible for her to
become Ranma's wife?"

"Yes, I did think of that."

     Hmm. Not impossible, if Akane is out of the
picture, but not guaranteed, either. Possible, but not
likely.

"Don't worry, Tofu-sensei. Ranma's destiny makes him
a Hero, whose
destiny is to defeat Evil. And he always wins."
Akane put her hand on
his shoulder. "And every time he marries, his mate
is always happy."

     It's nice to see a kindred spirit of a fellow
Ranma-fan. ^_^

"Where is it?" Genma insisted.

"Tanelorn."

"Never heard of it," Ranma answered.

"I'll tell you about it while we're looking."

     If you are going to continue this, then don't
make Akane an all-knowing figure; I would like to see
her immaturity remain at least partially, since that's
part of her charm.
